If you had Trunks' time machine

Post by eledoremassis02 » Wed Feb 20, 2013 1:55 pm

What would you do/get (Dragonball ball related)

I'd record all the original broadcasts of Z using my PC :D Then I'd get the "uncut" ocean dub episodes the same way :P

Oh jeez...So much stuff I would do. :P Record a-lot of the Toonami full broadcasts, Buy Dragon-box 2, buy up those irwin toys that I used to have. the list just keeps going. :P :lol:
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128
Still recording Toonami broadcasts on VHS after all these years!

Translate now the Toyble AF comic, print it and present it to the miserable crying 11-years-old me who couldn't bear the fact that there will be no more Dragon Ball episodes after the end of episode 64 of GT. I don't remember ever crying so hard as that day. So having a time machine and helping the younger me would be awesome :)

By definition, anything I do in the past will already have happened by today's perspective. Therefore, anything I can observe as having already happened by now will be whatever happens if I time travel.

Oh, right. DB time travel creates alternate timelines. In that case, I'd have a lot of personal problems to solve, DB related things would take a back seat. I've made all the correct purchases, anyway.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

- Ask for a cell phone for my 16th birthday. Might have gotten me a job much sooner (it wasn't until I was a couple month into my 17th year when I finally got one).
- Convince my grandparents to get my younger self the training needed to get a drivers license. I get tired of them worried about me driving; it's driving me nuts that they won't let me learn how to drive and I'm nearing ninteen.
- Tell my younger self to study hard during 11th grade. My phyics grade was horrible (A C average) and I only got a B in Computer Science because the teacher accidentially gave us the same questions on the final exam as he did in our review.

I think it should be DB related.

Make sure I don't loose my original Japanese VOL.40 of DB. Maybe I did in fact traveled back in time and took it.

Not buy some of the DBZ crap I know I'm not using right now. So much money gone. And probably not buy the orange bricks and get the Dragon Boxes instead.

What about Family Guy universe "where Christianity never existed and therefore no dark ages to inhibit scientific advance for a thousand years"?
Horseshit. The Dark Ages happened because the Roman Empire buckled and collapsed under never-ending waves of barbarian invasions. It makes no difference at all if Rome worshiped Jesus, Mithras or Sol Invictus - its days were numbered.

If you want proof, well, the Dark Ages only existed in Western Europe. In the East, where Rome survived as the (Christian) Byzantine Empire, there was no interruption in political or scientific advancement. Further east, the Islamic Empire(s) had its Golden Age of learning and technology during the Western "Dark Ages".

I'm fucking tired of this shit.

I dislike any stupid-ass motherfuckers spewing "hurrrrrchristianitysux" and thinking they know a goddamn thing about the grand march of history. The Christian Church was damn near the only thing keeping any learning alive in the West as the Empire shattered, but don't let that stop your super cool guy ~atheism~ from repeating a complete misinterpretation of the scientific development you claim to worship.

I'd purchase the dragonballz.com domain name and sell it for several millions + a special merchandise deal where I get every single piece of DB related merchandise for free. :twisted:

Mark Hamill and George Lucas have that same deal with the Star Wars franchise and they have warehouses full of free stuff. :mrgreen:

Okay. In that case, I would have bought the Dragon Box before they went out of sale.

I'll travel to Europe in 19th/20th Century as I love art nouveau and wanna see Prague, Paris or Vienna at that time with my own eyes.
